    Difficult to find information about Dr. Clotfelter's service. Per "United States Deceased Physician File (AMA), 1864-1968" at FamilySearch, Dr. Clotfelter "...served during the Spanish-American and World Wars...". I haven't yet found any record of his WWI service. Per photo caption at Find-A-Grave memorial 45338884 , served in 5th Illinois Infantry and 130th Infantry. Per Ancestry info below, it was 5th Infantry, not 5th Illinois Infantry. No record of 130th Infantry yet - WWI? ============================================ Per Ancestry's "U.S., Adjutant General Military Records, 1631-1976" GEORGE A.
